DC Court of Appeals Rules for Fireplace Industry

I know we sent out an email announcing the D.C. Court of appeals decision in favor of the HPBA over the U.S. Department of Energy, but good news bears repeating! Please see www.SaveGasLogs.com to read the Court’s opinion and learn about the history of the issue with the DOE. We’ll keep you posted if the DOE attempts any new rulemaking and, rest assured, we’ll fight any unreasonable regulation of the products we make and you sell.

We now have daily pickup service from FEDEX, in addition to UPS, for orders too small to ship via LTL or Truckload.

You may specify your preference of carrier (FEDEX or UPS) on your purchase order. If you do not, we will select the carrier. FEDEX has an earlier pick-up time from us than UPS, so sometimes which carrier we choose will depend on what time it is when we complete production of your order.

One advantage of shipping by FEDEX to residences is that they deliver on Saturdays at no additional cost with their FEDEX-HOME service.

Please contact us with your FEDEX account number if you wish to have your shipments third-party billed to your FEDEX account.
